UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

Vol. LXI, No. 119

William Kunstler, defense attorney for the
Chicago Seven, threw a number of sarcastic barbs
at the principals in the Chicago conspiracy trial
and called on students to "resist illegitimate
authority" at a rally outside the Student Center
Saturday afternoon.
Kunstler had no problem relating to the highly

rattled off some of the "revolutionary" acts cited
in the indictment.
"Tom I lay den was charged with spitting at a
policeman, letting the air out of a police car and
throwing a sweater at a cop. Then there was the

Kunstler implied that even Foran didn't believe
the prosecution witnesses who said the protestors
attacked the police. He said Foran saw the major
violence and two weeks after the trial said "the
police were relieving their frustrations. After the
beatings were over, the police were smiling."
'American Way'

Four jurors wanted to acquit the defendants
but gave in to the majority. When asked why
there wasn't a hung Jury, Foran, according to
Kunstler, said "the government spent a lot of
money on this trial. They deserved results. We
compromised. Isn't that the American way?"
After entertaining the crowd with the "absurdities" of the courtroom, Kunstler got down to the
heart of his speech.
"People have found that the courtroom is no
longer a place that demands respect just because
a judge says 'quiet'. The court has to earn respect."
He said he hopes defendants in future political
trials will speak out and not be intimidated by the
verdict in Chicago. "Things are going to get tough.
Adolf Hitler used the courts just as Julius Hoffman does and it was all perfectly legal."
Student Power
"You have the power to turn the university
upside down like they did at Columbia, if that is
necessary. You have the power to break that draft
in half. You have the power if you only knew it.
You are the new enemy of the republic.

plot and the conspiracy to kidnap the deputy police chief."
Kunstler said even the jurors, none of whom
had gone to college, could not believe the prosecution's charge that the defendants attempted to
use molotov cocktails to blow up an underground
parking garage.
Jury Criticized
Kunstler gave a personal description of a few
of the jurors, saying one "squatted like a toad"
and another "could have been dead except that
she left the jury box each day." He summed up
the jurors as "straight out of middle America."
Kunstler saved some of his more scathing
remarks for the prosecuting attorney, Thomas
Foran, whom he pictured as having no control
over the witnesses.. "Isn't it true, Mr. Hoffman,
that you stated 10,000 people would fornicate on
the shores of Lake Michigan?" Abbie answered,
"I never used that word."

that he would strongly encourage the plan entitled "The Politics of Participation" oidy if it
were obvious that no better alternatives existed and that the

Lack Of Interest
As the other candidates for

representatives spoke, there
seemed to be the common concern about lack of interest by
students in the campaigns.
Jerry Springate, independent
candidate for representative,
noted that "We have four more

The phrase "the police state,"

the subject matter for Pulitzer

Once this phrase had engaged
the famous playwright's imagination, he visualized a microcosm of the police state in one
of our police stations. He then
began using his reportorial gifts
to get authentic background for
his play. He spent nearly a year
hobnobbing with policemen, detectives and prosecuting attorneys in New York, and then

* Bright, Althoff Are The Best Qualified Candidates
This newspaper feels that this year's election campaign, though it
has attempted to improve, has succeeded only in emulating the disasters
of former years. There is no indication on the eve of the election that
voters are any more interested in issues than they were last year or the
ear before. Much of this disinterest can be blamed on the general
apathy of the student body, but Student Government must take its
share of the criticism as well. The office of Student Government president and the Assembly in general has done little to erase the claim
that they are an organization without power
in the areas
which most greatly affect students. A basic lack of direction and an
overall trend toward internal disunity have all but made Student Government an absurdity in the minds of many students.
The current campaign has shown little promise of correcting any
existing malfunctions in Student Government machinery. The platforms
of all the serious candidates read like carbon copies, leaving the voter
very few issues from which to choose. Some of the ideas are original
and some of the new answers to old problems show a fair amount
of research and forethought. Many of the planks, however, are idealistic
to the point of impossibility. For these reasons, students will be asked
to go to the polls with very little from which to choose a president. Most
will decide on the basis of personality alone. This would be an abominable approach, since one presidential candidate clearly stands as the
only logical choice for the executive position.
Steve Bright, for reasons of experience, creativity and interest, stands
the best chance of leading Student Government out of its stagnant
stance. His three years as representative, one year as Assembly speaker,
numerous committee chairmanships and his obvious knowledge of legislative and administrative processes combine to indicate the esteem with
which he is held by the organization he will lead. His record shows
that he has been directly involved in virtually every piece of progressive
legislation that has emanated from an otherwise inefficient Student
Government. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he has a knack for
putting into actual operation the plans he proposes. He has been
active in every phase of student affairs.
Bright is the only candidate whose platform touches deeply every
student on this campus. By stressing academic affairs and proposing
legislation which will have a positive benefit on the campus, Bright
is striking at the very reasons we attend this University in the first
place. His platform in general is not radically different from those
of the other serious candidates except for its heavy emphasis on academics. It does, however, point out some much-neede- d
changes in this
area, and indicates a certain amount of creativity in a vital student
concern.
Jennings and Dawson are both hampered by lack of experience,
and neither has shown more than a superficial knowledge of the issues
involved. Smith has been conspicuous by his absence, and Williams
has come dangerously close to fulfilling his ambition of proving SG's
farcical nature.
Wefeelthat Bright is theone recent candidate who has enough talent
to finally overcome the prevailing machine, which has, in Ched Jennings,
one of its weakest candidates. Bright and his running mate, Skip Althoff,
have each indicated a genuine concern for students in action as well
as idea. They deserve to lead Student Government.
non-function- al

Unlike the executive candidates, the representative slate presents a
talented cross section of student opinion. In our support of individual
candidates, we have attempted to choose the best of the various cross

Campus Opinioin: The SG Election
NOTHING IN PARTICULAR
By BOB BAILEY
Since, by nature, I have an opinion
on everything I figured that it would be
criminal to deprive the students of the
University my thoughts on Tuesday and
Wednesday's Student Government Elections. So settle back; here they come.
There are five people running for President. Gary Smith has been
Jim Williams has said some serious things
in a very funny way.
According to Steve Bright, he has
talked to everybody about every tiling and
has a solution for every problem. How
could we deny him the Presidency? Just
because he would alienate every administrator and leader he would have to work
with is no reason to think that he couldn't
rule as King effectively. He seems to
approach every question with an open
mouth and little else.
Ched Jennings has published and distributed a sequel to the Unabridged DicPlattionary called the Jennings-Valentin- e
form. It's as interesting as the telephone
book and as in depth as Winnie the Pooh.
The last candidate is Bill Dawson. He's
running for office telling the voters that
he's never stolen anything in his life. All
he asks is a chance. Otherwise Dawson
has been somewhat vague on some of his
positions but seems to be aiming toward
some realistic goal for S.C.
Which one to vote for? Steve Bright
would be extremely hard pressed to function as president due to his inability to

The choice for Vice President is much
easier. Standing way in front of the pack
is Don Waggener. He has shown a flair
in relating to the rank and file students
at the University.
